Should the LOL Esports break up into two divisions

Most sports leagues tend to have 2 divisions and the playoff rounds get the best two from each division to face each other for the championships. So I'm wondering, should LOL break up to and eastern (Asia) and western (NA and EU) divisions going forward?

Esports isn't really like any other sport imo. And I don't know how much control Riot even has over this kind of thing.

Well, they could for the LCS championships. Let the US and EU teams have a round robin for the best 8, same with Asia, and then hold elimination series.

Most sports leagues in North America Which is to pay respect to the size of the USA and Canada, just look at the different timezones in the US.

Since E-Sports, or at least LoLs league does is made out of teams which have no exact localization in the world there is no need to pay respect to any og those cercumstances. Also it would make worlds either boring (just one game) or irrelevant due to its redundance if you'd choose to keep worlds as thei are atm a thing.
